    Study Notes

    Key Concepts in Computing

    • An electronic device that processes data into information is commonly known as a computer. It takes input data, processes it, and produces meaningful output.

    Physical Components of a Computer System

    • Parts of a computer system that can be physically touched are referred to as hardware. This includes components like the keyboard, mouse, monitor, and internal parts such as the motherboard and a power supply unit.

    Material Composition of IC Chips

    • Integrated Circuit (IC) chips, which are essential in computers, are typically made of silicon. This semiconductor material is crucial for manufacturing electronic components due to its balance of conductivity and resistance.

    Data Compression Techniques

    • A compression process, such as ZIP or RAR, creates a smaller file size, allowing for faster data transfer over the internet. This technique reduces the amount of data needed to be sent while maintaining the integrity of the information.

    Input Devices Uncovered

    • Common examples of input devices include the keyboard and mouse. A device that is not classified as an input device would be something like a printer, which primarily outputs data rather than accepting input.
